Today I swam in Magen's Bay where the water is so clear you dont need goggles or a mask to see the fish swimming around you in a foot of water...

later, I had a guy open a Coconut with a machete and I drank the juice with a plastic straw (but ate the jelly with a metal spoon). Ordering re-usable glass straws tomorrow cuz this just seems wrong...

ate dinner outside in an artist's colony type place called 'Tillet Gardens'. Besides the feral chickens walking all over, this little kitten was hanging around and let me hold and cuddle her. If i didnt already have seven (five of which currently hate me)...

Things are improving. Hopefully, new blog will be up and running tomorrow. Bye for now.

Sarah said to call it 'Vegan In The VI' so I set up that name on blogspot, but that's about it. Here is how we got the crew down to St. Thomas yesterday. A Sprinter took everyone to the Leesburg Airport. The driver was so impressed with his stacking skills, he took a photo as well...

there was all you can use tissue for the 20 minute ride to the airport (that is a tissue box under the little screen)...

We took a Citation Excel for the 3 1/2 hour flight..

The Pups were out of their crates for the duration, but behaved beautifully. Teddy was desperately wanting to get at the chickens in their crates at first...

but eventually calmed down to enjoy the view...

Molly was a dream...

and Poley crashed (no pun intended) in the aisle the whole way...

Everyone made it down alive and well, but the barn cats will probably never trust me again. The Chickens have been residing under the house...

the Japanese Bantam went instantly feral and it now uncatachable...

more Chicken pics...

a Bantam Cochin on the stairs...and done with Chicken pics...

one of the unexpected pleasant surprises was all the Hermit Crabs on the property (I just saw it for the first time yesterday). They are constantly rustling around. The one below was about as big as a 50 cent piece, but others are as big as Grapefruit...

another fortunate aspect of being here as that all the Flamboyant Trees are currently in bloom...

they are a vibrant red/orange color. I plan to try to grow some in my yard from dried seed pods...

I have eaten some great vegan grub as well, but am proud of myself for not posting on it here....

I will save it for my Vegan In The VI blog once I get that up and running. Bye for now....

Trader Joe's Cornflakes with Almond Milk for breakfast...I can still get Cornflakes where I am going, maybe not such a huge box of Organic Flakes for $2.49, but still Cornflakes...there is your hint, Ingrid....

Cashew Milk Ice Cream for dessert...I may have to consume a pint a night until I go....

There is no Traders Joes, Loving Hut or Cashew Milk Ice Cream where I am planning to go, that is why I gotta pile it in. Assuming all goes well, my new home is located east of the MissIssippi. Will I make it happen? Bye for now.

As longtime readers may have deduced, I am no fan of the D.C. Metro Area. After this coming Saturday, I am supposedly departing the area for good. So, yes, I have been plotting and planning for months behind y'all's backs, but, if all goes as planned, I will still be around (in new form). A new, far more exciting blog will take this blog's place. The upcoming week will be spent partaking of my most favorite local vegan items. I tried to partake over the past week, with the LEDO Pizza and whatnot, but obviously failed by Thursday. So, as the post title says, seven more days. Bye for now.
